Had a call today from someone I know, not a close friend but he knew my husband for some time. His attitude towards me left me in tears apparently according to him that at sometime  we all have  to go through this and I have to learn to cope on my own and get on with my life. I am supposed to start doing things again right now because this is what my husband would have wanted, my husband knew that as soon as I can I will do everything I can to be with him, he was an insensitive  a hole , my husband died in April, he said his friends wife is getting on with her life making new friends, good for her, her husband passed 3 years ago, I will never talk to him again, I hope he is left on his own then maybe he will realise  what an idiot he is.

It's been 100 days today and I don't know how many more I can get through having a really bad day !

Pamela, let me say that I am sorry for your loss and the person who left you in tears is an idiot. I have re-read your post a number of times and had to temper my anger before I responded. Your grief process is customized for your personality, temperament and need. No one is ever allowed to dictate how you are to feel, what actions you should take or where you should be in the process. It is that word "should" which others see as their license to dictate the actions of others. You are where you are and that is that. Some days are better than others and only people who have lost a spouse can understand how one minute you can be okay and the next you need to run and cry in a corner. My husband died 6/19/2016 so I understand how it is to be at the beginning of this different life. Please understand that there will be some people who were acquaintances who will no longer remain in your life because of their callous attitudes but there will also be people who will surprise you with their compassion. The latter are the keepers and they will be your source of comfort.

Thank you, I am truly Sorry you are suffering the same as me it does appear that only the people who have lost a husband/wife really knows the pain you go through on a daily basis, and the morons you have to contend with .  please stay in touch x

I'm so sorry about your husband.  People seem to think the thing to say is "your husband would want you to be happy" or "your wife would want you to move on" or "Your spouse would want you to do 'this' or 'that'".  I look at them and say, "No.  My husband knew me better than anyone.  So my husband would know that I need time...that he was my life...that all I would want would to be with him.  My husband would give me the time I need."  Not many people have a comeback to that.  We all will grieve in our own time and our time is never someone else's time. Anyone who says different, has never had their soulmate die.  It's coming up on a year for me on August 13th of this year.  And I still cry almost every day.  You hold on, you've got people here who understand!!  Big Hugz!!

Thank you hugs back, xxx

Having a really bad day today don't know how many more I can take

What you said was spot on. Only I know what my husband would want. Only he knew the real me and he would understand how hard it would be without him. It's only been 4 months and he died suddenly and unexpectedly. I am still in shock some days. I pray for strength that one day I will feel happiness in my life at least for my kids. Right now I'm just barely functioning more like floating. My husband knows how much I would miss him need him as I believe he would feel the same for me.

 i lost my husband on June 29th to anaplastic thyroid cancer which went very fast. He was diagnosed in March and died three months later. Every day and every hour the heartache is there - it is literally a deep pain that no one can understand unless they can truly feel it with their own loss. Like many others here he was the love of my life  - we always thought may be I would go first since I am older.

 Already people are saying you should get out and live life again since that he is what he would want...Some one told me today I should get a boyfriend. Like Pamela I think that that these kinds of comments are insensitive but people who say them have absolutely no idea of the intense pain that comes with this kind of loss as well as the loneliness. I think we just have to stumble along as best we can...

I do not think anyone knows what H_LL it is like until they go through it and only if they Love that person as much as you did your husband.  This is worse than any physical pain.  I am glad you got to experience that kind of intense love, even if we are in pain now, it was totally worth it to have our beautiful husbands in our lives. Take Care, Ruthie  You are not alone (I am at 8 months today--isn't it funny it sounds like a prison term I have served-lol)

5 months for me Ruthie, every day gets worse i have walked out of a so called friends house because they said at least you got to have a holiday together before he died, and then her husband raised his glass and said to our so called "friends " heres to a happy retirement! Knowing fall well that Russ had just retired insensitive a holes, then one of them knocked on my door and said i have to go out! I go out with other friends who are supportive of me and know just by looking at me when i have had enough, thank God for them, i now ignore  the aholes (hard to do as they are my neighbours) and take one day at a time, how we cope i dont know but i do believe that when we truly love someone they never leave us. Had some amazing things happen will fill you in later. Xxx

My husband was killed on his motor bike on his way home from work 9 months ago. He had stopped at a 'watering hole' for a drink before heading home. I had a "close" friend email me several weeks after his death to tell me it was my fault that my husband was killed, because if he were happy at home and with his married life, he wouldn't have stopped in at the bar, therefore wouldn't have been killed! There is so much loss and confusion and hurt and disappointment after you lose a loved one! Just what we DON'T need! Needless to say I unfriended her and will never call her a 'close friend' again!

Im sorry for your loss, know what your going through, but good god what an a hole! Obviously  they dont have any brain cells, my hubbie often stopped for a pint on his way home, he would pick our son up on the way it was their time together then they would come home to me for dinner, you really dont need people in your life that treat you so bad. We, who have lost the love of our life can stay in touch on this site and share our heartache and feelings, always here if you need me xxx Pam

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
